Which is your favorite game Valkyrie Carrier?

[RedWolf]

Since we've been gettig too much mecha capital ship love.

Lets recognize the other non-transforming carriers of the Macross universe.

Pick your favorite.

Algenix from Macross M3

Vahalla III from Macross VFX

Saratoga II from Macross VFX-2

Saratoga II footage 1

The Algenix is a carrier with Zentradi aesthetic. Max, Millia and Moaramia were assigned to the Dancing Skulls there.

The Valhalla III is small carrier containing a maxium of 6 Valkyries. Bridge bunny Miho Miho got transfered there 2047 after the Protodevlin war.

The Saratoga II is a variant of the Uruga class. Carrying the elite VFX Ravens squadron.

NO PROMETHOUS OR ARMD!?

[Ignacio Ocamica]

Although it's very small my vote goes to the Valhalla III.

Übercool design

Looks like a varauta ship?

Not Varauta but UN Spacy. Commisioned I think between 2014 to 2022.

Considering the name and organic design a proudly Zentradi built ship.

NO PROMETHOUS OR ARMD!?

It's spelled Prometheus. The idea here is that which game UN Spacy carrier do you like.

ive always loved how the Valhalla III has the spinning catapult.

it throws its VFs like they were paper airplanes !

[Morpheus]

I prefer Saratoga. It got a frickin Konig Monster on it

Altought I could also choose Valhalla III since Miho is on boad

You dog just because Miho turned to a bombshell after a year.

Quality of the ship is directly proportional to the bridge bunnies

The Macross 13 was cool, even though it was on the enemy side and got blown up. It is still a carrier technically.

I voted for Saratoga II though, I like that design more than the 3 listed.

This pool is for the non-transforming carrier from the game^_^

[Master Dex]

Fair enough, I didn't actually read the first post, just looked at the pictures. None the less I made my choice.

[Sumdumgai]

Algenix looks cool. The Valhalla III looks like a pickle with a hatch. The Saratoga II looks like a standard UN SPACY design.

[d3v]

I've always liked the Valhalla three simply for how unorthodox it's design is.

[RedWolf]

Is it just me or did Vahalla III got the lead because of the bridge bunny pic?

[Sulendil Ang]

Is it just me or did Vahalla III got the lead because of the bridge bunny pic?

Cuz the votes of the ship are directly proportional to the bridge bunnies?

But still, I likes Vahalla III, through, and not just because of Miho. I always likes the concept of aircraft carrier submarines.

Does anyone has a better picture and Stats of the Algenix from M3..?

Is like the most obscure carrier in the Macross universe..I can't even find its length..?

Officially no.

But Macross Roleplay does list it as Haruna Class.

Again, no Prometheus or ARMD?

1997's (SS) / 1999's (PS1) SDF:M, DYRL? (both ships)

2000's (PS1) M+ Game edition (cool, as in the vs mode you can smash your opponent on the surface of an ARMD!)

2003's (PS2) SDF:M

As all of these are released in the same time frame, they are equally valid.

The idea here is that which game UN Spacy carrier do you like.

[Morpheus]

Officially no.

But Macross Roleplay does list it as Haruna Class.

Always take information from RPG websites with a bucket of salt I think Macross Chronicle will cover it sometimes in...maybe ....few years from now?

[Beltane70]

Despite the lack of information, I really like the Algenix best out of the three.

Hehe actually the Haruna Class name came from the Macross Compendium, but Egan has never pin pointed a specific ship. Logic dictated the Algenix was the one in question, but as you rightly said take it with a pinch of salt as we never get all the info unfortunately as all the books focus on the Valkyries and not the ships. But as I've said to the wife on many occasions I would love to kidnap Kawamori-san and get him to answer every stats related question I have including what all the damn class names are

My vote goes to the Algenix because it looks the sexiest in my opinion

Going to vote for Algenix. Mainly because it's something firmly footed in Macross and the fact I always liked the Zentradie look of the ship.

[TSP]

ARUGENIKUSU!!!! This ship is Zentran and purple...It's purple dammit!

Plus: I always liked unnecessary launch preparations through various different stages. Kinda Thunderbirds / Super Robot like transport.

BTW provide a better scan.

Cool! Reverse view!

Shame that it didn't appear in any of the Design Works books...

[Roy Focker]

Valhalla III is the best out of the three in launch mode only. Looks dull in the other mode.
